EDITORIAL

I

I’m a man... I can change... if I have to... I guess

have always admired Red Green, not only for his wisdom and ambition, but also for the inspiring creed recited at the beginning of every Possum Lodge meeting.

Kim Jong-un has resolved to develop North Korea’s nuclear arsenal to reach us North Americans.

Hopefully he will just settle for starving his citizens until they finally rise up and execute that nutbar ?

(See the title of editorial if you missed it)

ISIS whackos have generously resolved to establish a distorted Islamic caliphate across the globe.

Hopefully they just succeed in blowing a few people up until the world can finally exterminate the bastards.

Once again the time has come for many to make New Years Resolutions, which of course are easy to make, but not so easy to keep. Like many of you have, I could make some of the old standards, but how successful would I be ?

I could resolve to....

Lose weight...

Figure out how to just stop gaining ?

Quit drinking...

Drink less often ? but just as much ?

Quit smoking...

Might switch to lighter cigarettes ?

Quit gambling...

Maybe just not max bet every spin ?

Justin Trudeau, now here’s a man with ambition...

Justin has resolved to legalize marijuana in Canada.

Now this is one worth succeeding at !

With what is happening around the world, I welcome a way to legally “turn on, tune in and drop out.”

But then again, I will just end up with another unattainable resolution to add to my list next year.

Maybe I could just switch to dope lite ?

But the one person who may have really over-extended himself with resolutions for 2017 is Donald Trump.

I could easily set these goal but, like most people, I seem to lack the ambition to achieve them.

But maybe that’s a good thing.

Yes, the Donald has spent the past many months spouting off about all of the things he resolves to do.

In fact things, that he says only he can do !

I hate to break it to him, but he is going to be about as successful as me with these resolutions.

Donald Trump has resolved, come January 20th, to...

Repeal Obomacare...

This will just turn into one of those “let’s not, and say we did” things.

It’s impossible to just chop millions of his citizens off of health care without starting a revolution in the streets.

Build a Wall....

Well, this one has already started to be compromised before he even got started. The wall has been slowly crumbling into a “figure of speech” that could just be more fences, where needed, and better immigration policies. Go figure !

Drain the Swamp...

I have to give him a fail on this one. As he prepares to enter the swamp, he has assembled a team of appointees that have been up to their collective necks in the swamp for years, as he has been.

I think the one thing he will accomplish this year is to get Americans to resolve to stop electing idiots for president.

2017 should be quite a ride !

Delisle Fire Chief Al Dreher Retires

A

retirement party was held on the 17th of December for Fire Chief Al Dreher.

Al has been a dedicated member of the Delisle & District Fire Department since 1977.

Al was a firefighter under Chief Dave Currie and then became Deputy Chief under Chief Bill Gessell. A dedicated medical responder, Al was also a member of the local ambulance service until it was disbanded.

In 2004, Al became Fire Chief for the Delisle and District Fire Department.

Under his leadership, membership grew to its current complement of 50 members serving the RM of Vanscoy, RM of Montrose, Town of Delisle and Village of Vanscoy.

Al re-introduced the First Responders back to the fire hall in early 2005.

He also introduced a very successful Junior Fire-

T

fighter program that has turned out several members who have since furthered their career in emergency services. Al’s welcoming nature promoted school trained fire fighter volunteers from Saskatoon to experience training and call-outs side by side with resident members. Many of these volunteers have since been hired by the City of Saskatoon’s Fire Department yet they remain solid contributing members of the Delisle and District Fire Department, which is a testament to Chief Dreher’s commitment to volunteers. His mentorship extended to many dozens of volunteers over his career.

The event, organized by Fire Fighter/First Responder Linda Colborn and Cindy Rusnell, was attended by approximately 70 people includ-

ing firefighters, first responders and fire commission members and their spouses as well as the Honorable Jim Reiter, MLA Rosetown Elrose and his wife. The Master of Ceremonies was Roland Rusnell. Al was presented many accolades and letters of

recognition including a letter from Brad Wall expressing gratitude, presented by Hon. Jim Reiter. A plaque and letter from Saskatchewan Association of Fire Chiefs, as well as other gifts and recognition for his service from Fire Commission Chair Ron

Al was born in 1947 and

raised around Bromhead, Saskatchewan. He was an automotive mechanic by trade, retiring from Cogema in early 2000’s.

Al and his wife Donna live in Delisle and have four adult children and several grandchildren.

A full crew turned out to celebrate Al Dreher at his retirement party on December 17th

Ground Breaking Ceremony for Asquith Fire Hall

he Asquith Fire Department (AFD), the Asquith First Responders and the Town of Asquith officially broke ground on an addition to the fire hall on November 8, 2016. Officials taking part in the ceremony included Fire Chief Colin Graham and Deputy Fire Chief John Dahlseide, Primary First Responder Diane Haugrud and Asquith Mayor Gail Erhart.

The need for an addition

to the fire hall was identified in an operational review and strategic plan issued by AFD in 2011.

The addition will be able to house 3 fire apparatus that are currently stored outside, provide a dedicated indoor training area and accommodate a larger meeting room. As well, the extra space will allow AFD/AFR to expand their dispatch/radio center for future technologies.

The addition will be con-

structed wholly with proceeds from the various fundraising activities the fire department has held over the past few years.

While the capital raised will allow AFD to build and enclose the addition, it will be far from complete.

From its modest beginnings, the Asquith Fire Department now has a protection area of over 600 square kilometers.

Due to the unique loca-

tion of Asquith, the protection area includes regions in five municipalities – four RMs (Corman Park, Vanscoy, Perdue and Eagle Creek) and the town proper.

While AFD is compensated for each call for service through negotiated agreements, the fire department only receives funding for maintenance/capital expenditures from the Town of Asquith. The operational review identified that the compensation received did not cover operating costs and that the fire department operates at a net loss year over year.

These findings prompted the Asquith Fire Department and the Town of Asquith to contact the councils of the surrounding RM’s to arrange an audience with them.

Representatives from all of the RMs attended the first meeting on March 25, 2015; the meeting included a presentation on AFD’s response area, services provided, current apparatus/equipment, call statistics, population statistics, expenses vs revenue, future capital costs and frank discussion on the issues presented. Everyone in attendance agreed these

A Year to Forget

016 has rolled by and we have a few good things to remember, such as the remarkable showing of our athletes in Rio. But the not so pleasant items over-shadow the good. Take for instance Aleppo, the opioid crisis centered in Vancouver, the Brexit vote in Britain, the killings in the US, or the earth quakes in Italy and Central America. And those are just examples of many other problems and tragedies world-wide.

Of great consequence was the election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the US to replace the statesman Barack Obama. Perhaps this world tragedy is most important because it represents over half the US voters who have been led down the path to abandon democratic ideals. The cry was to replace Hilary

C.M. (Red) Williams

Clinton the elitist, but instead they are getting a cabinet of billionaires and hard-hosed right-wing extremists.

I hope I am not just a pessimist; however I leave 2016 with a deep concern for the state of democracy in the western countries. In Canada we have the usual chatter out of the government leaders but we at least are still stable and in a position to be the ideal for the other countries that are struggling with extreme right or left wing radical challenges. Being Canadian is a greater than ever privilege.

were important, pressing concerns and requested more information. Subsequently, smaller presentations took place at council meetings of the RM of Corman Park on May 11, 2015 and the RM of Vanscoy on August 11, 2015. Unfortunately, the RMs of Perdue and Eagle Creek declined any further invitation or involvement in the process.

While the presentation of information and following discussions at both RM council meetings was well received and seemed to promise consideration for future investment in AFD, there has not been any changes initiated or put forth by any of the surrounding RM councils to date.

While the Asquith Fire Department and the Asquith First Responders will always respond to any call for service, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the level of service provided to customers outside of the municipal corporate

limits.

This is where you can help to maintain the emergency services available to you. Contact your local councillor or Reeve for the RM you reside in and ask these simple questions: Do my taxes pay for the RM to provide fire service coverage? If so, what location in the RM is that coverage coming from? How close is the nearest fire department to my residence?

Does that fire department receive funding from the RM? If not, why not?

It is our hope that these questions may press home the importance of the services provided by AFD/AFR to the elected officials that should be able to answer the questions.

The Asquith Fire Department and the Asquith First Responders thank everyone for their continued support as we strive to offer the community the very best emergency response service possible.

The Government of Saskatchewan has indicated that it will no longer be providing the rinks in Saskatchewan with the Community Rink Affordability Grant which means that the Asquith Sports Center will be operating with $2,500 less this year than previous years. Please support your local Sports Center! There is currently a raffle being held; the prize is a Gordie Howe signed and framed jersey, donated by the Boldis family of Asquith. The tickets are $10 a piece or 3 tickets for $20. They are available at the Asquith Town office.

Discussion was held at the meeting whether Council should invest tax payer dollars into repairing and maintaining the old Town Hall located at 405 Main Street or whether this property should be offered up for sale. A survey will be included with the December 2016 utility bills, but if you would like to provide a letter to the Town office regarding this, please feel free to

do so.

Councillors Ted Goodnough, Dylan Claypool and Jordan Claypool will be attending the 2017 SUMA Convention in Saskatoon at the beginning of February.

Bylaw No. 4-2016, a Bylaw to Exempt the Asquith Masons from Taxation was passed. The Town exempts the Asquith Masons from paying taxes and in return the Mason's put on a supper every autumn, the proceeds of which go towards the Asquith Seniors Association. This year they raised $1,700.00 for the Asquith Seniors.

A resolution was made to install a debit machine at the Asquith Town office. This will be for debit transactions only, not credit card transactions. It is hoped that this will make payment of bills more convenient. This machine will be installed some time in January of 2017.

A community event license was issued to Minor Hockey for a Men's Hockey Tournament to be held on January 14, 2017 for a beer gardens to be held at the Asquith Sports Center from 1:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.

The Town of Asquith will be applying for two infrastructure grants currently available : the PTIC Grant (Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Component) and the CWWF Grant (Clean Water and Wastewater Fund). The proposed project for the infrastructure grants will be a new sewage pumping station, which will include generators to provide water and sewer in a power outage, and some gravity sewer upgrades. The projected cost of the project will be $1,996,800.00, of which the Town's one third portion of the cost will be $665,600.00.

The Town of Asquith Council voted to waive twelve hundred dollars from the twenty-eight hundred dollar connection fee for the property at 280 Charles Street due to cost overruns associated with difficulties of servicing.

All pet licences must be renewed for 2017.

The cost for dog and cat licences for spayed and neutered pets is $10, while the cost for nonneutered and non-spayed pets is $20.00. All business licences must also be renewed for 2017.

MP REPORT

Kelly Block, MP December 16, 2016

have received a number of questions and comments concerning the carbon pricing scheme announced earlier this year by the Prime Minister.

Conservative Members including myself have been asking hundreds of questions in every forum possible on whether the government had even considered the impact of this tax on agriculture, transport, manufacturing, home heating, potash, oil and gas and the list goes on before the announcement was made.

All of our questions have been ignored by the government. It is obvious

T

www.rmreview.net

they don’t know what the impact of this tax will be on these sectors, and will go ahead with it regardless.

Only yesterday did the Minister of the Environment finally acknowledge that the government had not done any analysis on how this new tax will impact Canada's competitiveness relative to the U.S. and the other countries our exporters compete against.

“We have committed with the Prime Minister, working with the finance minister, to doing a review of competitiveness and review of carbon pricing to look at this issue, because

I think it is really important going forward,” Introducing a carbon tax before any analysis was complete is doing things backwards.

Regardless of whether a province introduces a carbon tax, a cap and trade scheme, carbon sequestration or carbon offsets to meet the federally mandated standard, these plans must all impose a $50 per tonne price on carbon by 2022.

This is something that every business and every consumer in Canada will have to pay for.

According to the Senate of Canada Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee, Canadians must cut emissions by some 208

million tonnes in order to meet the Paris accord climate targets which is more than that produced by all road vehicles in Canada.

I will continue to challenge the government on this tax which will have a disproportionate impact on Saskatchewan.

The show has had many different exhibitors over the years, both for displays and sales. From homemade creations like a gravel/ rock crusher and many custom farm toys, to brand new toys in boxes. It has been a

source for parts for restorations and customizations on many pieces of equipment. Although the main features are the farm toys themselves, there are many other things that will

help draw a crowd. There are vintage toys and collectibles, Hot Wheels, die-cast models of different sizes and construction equipment. There have even been some dolls, china, and handmade wooden toys available over the years. The most popular displays at the show are the farm yard creations that have

been built from scratch.

These feature scale sized buildings, equipment, people, animals, and even fields.

The amount of hours and work that go into the dis-

plays are tremendous.

Show exhibitors have a couple opportunities to show their creations in the Scratch Built and Custom Built competitions. The winners of the categories win a plaque and bragging rights for their hard work.

The Western Development Museum became the home for the show for the next 23 years. In 2014, a new venue was needed and the move to the German Cultural Center was made. In 2015, Neil and Allison Isley of Delisle joined forces with Wayne and Sherry to promote the show.

Farm Business Specialist Ministry of Agriculture

business strategy is a critical management tool that will help guide business decisions and measure success. It is a game plan – a concise written strategy of objectives and how to obtain them. Business development plans will outline all areas of the farm business. The business structure, financial management, human resource management, marketing, succession and production plans should all be included in a business plan. A business strategy will answer the questions Where are we? Where do we want to be? and How do we get there?

A good business development practice is to create goal statements. Goal statements provide a clear sense of direction and identify specific results to be achieved.

Goals should outline future desired results. Goal statements assist in prioritizing work and outline the necessary resources needed to achieve success.

When developing goal statements a good practice is to set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely) goals. SMART goals will give you a clear vision of what the business objectives are and how you plan on achieving these objectives.

Specific goals will clearly state what you want to

accomplish, why it’s important and how you intend on accomplishing it.

Targets need to be set in order to measure the goal. Ensuring that your goal is measurable will help you recognize that you are moving in the right direction and when you have achieved your goal. Your goals will likely challenge you and pull you out of your comfort zone. With that being said you need to make sure all your goals will be attainable. To ensure your goals are attainable break them down into smaller, manageable action steps. If goals are not relevant to your business objectives the likelihood of attaining them will be small. It’s imperative that a time line be set in order to commit to the goal. A time line helps to motivate you to stay on track.

Communicate goal statements with all involved in the business. It is important that everyone understands the objectives of the business. An implementation plan is needed to put your goals into action. Assign responsibilities and set the deadline.

Be aware that things may arise that can alter the time line; remain flexible.

Be sure to measure your progress and recognize your achievements. Celebrate achievements no matter how small. This will help to keep up motivation.

Business development is an ongoing practice. The business plan should be reviewed annually to keep it current. Review and update any goal statements that changed over the year. An annual review will help to focus your efforts and renew your commitment to achieving your goals.

The business development plan is the first step in creating your business strategy. With business objectives established, you will be able to identify other strategies needed for a successful business.

If you find that throughout the business development process there are areas that you require training or perhaps consulting to achieve some goals; check out the FBDI program for financial support.

inter has officially arrived in much of Saskatchewan. There is snow on the ground, the temperature has dropped and most livestock producers have likely started their winter feeding program. Whether you are feeding pregnant cows, growing calves, finishing animals, bulls, or any other class of livestock, it’s important to know what the animal’s nutrient requirements are and what nutrients you are providing to them through the feed.

Formulating a ration can help insure you are meeting the nutrient requirements of your livestock.

The first step to a balanced ration is feed testing. This will determine what levels of protein, energy, minerals and other important nutrients are available in the feed you have. Using these feed values and a ration bal-

old weather in West Central Saskatchewan is a certainty at some point in January and February.

Making sure livestock are provided with adequate resources to maintain body mass and temperature can be achieved in many different ways.

Using a feed test to provide an energy estimate of the hay, greenfeed, silage, swath grazing, standing corn, or other forage is an excellent starting point.

Energy content of the forage is largely determined by stage of maturity at harvest. Much of the hay was harvested later than usual this year so extra energy is probably going to be required. Feeding cereal grains is likely to be the most cost effective strategy for providing the extra calories needed.

The Importance of Ration Balancing

ancing program can assist you in setting up a ration for the winter feeding period. Having your feed tested for mycotoxins associated with ergot, fusarium and other plant diseases or molds is also a good idea, especially in a wet year such as this one. Knowledge of any possible issues can help determine if the feed is safe to use, if it can be used by diluting it with other feed or if it should not be used at all.

Some important factors that influence an animal’s nutrient requirements can include temperature, wind chill, stage of production and water quality and availability. All of these considerations can be factored in when putting together a ration. It is also useful to feed different classes of animals separately. For example, feed your animals in separate groups such as

calves, bred heifers, bred cows, and bulls. This allows you to more accurately meet the requirements of each group of animals.

By using feed test results, animal nutrient requirements and environmental and animal conditions, you will be able to formulate a ration. There are ration balancing programs available for you to complete a ration on your own. You may also enlist the assistance of a Regional Livestock Specialists to prepare a ration.

For more information on this or other livestock related topics, please contact Jessica Smith, Regional Livestock Specialist in Swift Current at 306-778-8289, call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-4572377, or visit our website www.saskatchewan.ca.

Cattle Rations for Cold Conditions

The general rule of thumb is to provide an extra three pounds of good quality hay or six pounds of silage or one pound of grain for every five degrees Celsius below minus 20 at midday. This assumes the cows have a body condition score of three or better on a five point scale and are receiving a ration that is meeting their maintenance needs.

Grazing standing corn typically provides energy in excess of requirements.

This year environmental conditions were right for mold to develop in many of the corn crops. Visible mold is an indication that toxins may be present.

One toxin in particular, HT-2 toxin, has been detected in several samples.

One indicator that the corn may have this toxin is if the cows are leaving uneaten cobs behind on

the ground. Another indicator of the corn containing toxins would be to offer alternate forage to the cows. If they readily consume this forage before grazing a fresh patch of corn, it is time to find out what kind and how much toxin is present.

Spoilage organisms (aka mold) are likely to be present on much of the stored feed as well this winter. Rolling feed out without chopping and

mixing it together allows the cows to select the parts of the bale that are not spoiled. Mold will also contribute to lower intakes, meaning that producers should monitor their cows for loss of body fat closely.

Many of the above conditions also tax the ability of the immune system. It is important to provide appropriate vitamin and mineral supplementation to maintain immune system function.

CONSUMER’S CORNER

NEW IMPAIRED AND DISTRACTED DRIVING LAWS TAKE EFFECT JANUARY 1ST

he Government of Saskatchewan has introduced new impaired driving and distracted driving laws effective January 1. These new laws are part of the objective to take action against impaired driving and drivers using cell phones in Saskatchewan. These changes include stronger legislation, added tools for law enforcement and increased awareness. Earlier this month, Statistics Canada reported that Saskatchewan had the highest impaired driving rate among the provinces in 2015 with nearly 1,200 impaired driving collisions, killing 54 people and injuring 580 others.

New laws effective January 1, 2017 include: • Experienced drivers who are charged for the first time with having a blood alcohol content (BAC) over .04 will have their vehicle seized for 3 days • Zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol for all drivers 21 and under and all new drivers • Ignition interlock laws will be the strongest in Canada, with mandatory ignition interlock for drivers who register a BAC of .16 or greater or refuse to provide a breath sample (1st offence - two years; 2nd offence - five years; 3rd and subsequent offence - 10 years).

A new cellphone law is also coming

I

January 2017

www.rmreview.net

into effect on January 1. In order to prevent distracted driving, the cellphone law is expanding from “using” a cellphone while driving to “holding, viewing, using or manipulating” a cellphone while driving.

Experienced drivers can still use hands-free devices, but new or inexperienced drivers can’t. If your cellphone is mounted on the dash, clipped to the visor or in a cradle, it's considered hands-free provided that you can access the phone with one touch of a button or voice commands.

Government is also supporting law enforcement with this initiative.

SGI invested an additional $800,000 into 32 automated license plate readers (ALPR) that will be installed by the end of January 2017. An ALPR can scan 120 license plates – an hour. SGI hopes the technology will help police once new impaired driving and distracted driving laws come into effect. In addition, SGI is also providing $500,000 to increase stop checks that target impaired driving including extra overtime hours for law enforcement to conduct check stops.

Saskatchewan drivers will pay more starting January 1 for a number of SGI Auto Fund administrative fees. Most of the fees, including

driver testing, appeals and inspections, have not increased in over 10 years. A class 5 road test will cost $55, an increase of 150 per cent, while a vehicle impound release certificate is going up from $50 to $125. The ignition interlock program fee is more than tripling to $105 from the current $30. These change help insure that costs are primarily being covered by the customer using the service or completing the transaction, instead of being subsidized by all vehicle owners. Increases will be capped at $75/fee to limit hardship of customers.

TIPS TO SELLING YOUR HOME IN THE WINTER

t was once considered undesirable to sell a home in winter.

With all the holidays and the traveling going on, not to mention the weather, it seemed like winter was probably the least advantageous season you could pick.

But today’s real estate agents understand that there are certain advantages that come from selling in winter, advantages you can make work for your sale.

Buyers in winter are serious, and the season inspires emotions, both of which can actually make it easier to sell your home.

Some of the best home selling tips for winter including these:

Decorate for the Season The holidays are prime decorating time, so set your home up to look like the perfect place to spend them. Warm lighting, a fire in the fireplace, candles, a Christmas tree with presents underneath. You can really work up to something that will draw in buyers and make them imagine being there with their own families.

Keep the Exterior Safe Remove ice and snow regularly to avoid falling hazards. Keep snow off of the roof to prevent ice dams, and clean out the gutters to avoid having them tear off the side of the house when it freezes.

Be Flexible about Showings Buyers may have a busy schedule, so you might get some requests to show the house at odd hours. This is just a part of selling in winter, so try to be flexible. If the buyer is motivated enough to visit at night in the freezing weather, he or she may be motivated enough to buy.

Keep in mind whether you are selling a home in the fall, winter, spring or summer getting the price of your home correct is critical. You can follow all of these home selling tips and it won’t do a thing if you get the price wrong! Never underestimate the importance of choosing the right real estate agent who has a track record of pricing homes correctly from day one.

Operation Santa Says ‘Thank You’ Asquith is a caring town, full of good neighbors. The community of Asquith has proved it by their tremendous response to Operation Santa! Groceries, toys, knitted mitts and toques and cash donations were received, allowing Operation Santa to make Christmas and grocery hampers. Maple Leaf, thanks to Doug and Crystal Haugrud, made up meat hampers.

This year we provided hampers and groceries to SEVENTEEN family units, in which there were 33 children. People who received the hampers have expressed thanks again and again. You met a physical need and touched many hearts!

Money received went directly to the hampers and was spent at local merchants.

Organizations that we would like to thank specifically are: The Asquith Baptist Church, The Asquith Legion, The

United Church, St. Theresa’s Parish, Asquith Elks, Asquith Masons and the BLRA. A special thank you has to go out to the Asquith General Store and the Asquith Co-operative Association, who special ordered in some staples and who also donated some of the food stuffs!!

You guys are great!!

Individuals who made cash donations were Gerry Anderson, Janet and Randy England, Ann Nelson, Mel Moline, Helen Schriek, Bill Gregory, Bruce Griffiths, Chris and Marian Edstrom, Lord Asquith School, Roman Domashovitz and the Britannia Restaurant. Thanks to Leona Dumont, Donna Laye, and Faye Fawcett knitted beautiful scarves, toques and mitts to keep many a child warm this cold Christmas season. Thanks to Donna and Dan Seymour for donating potatoes from their garden, it will be much appreciated by the families! The Asquith Baptist Church do-

nated a space for sorting and distributing the hampers.

A special thank you goes to the elves Josh Goetz, Trevor Grinde, Dennis and Doreen Summach, Barb and Keith Rousell, Shirley Nygren and Tim Schoenberg, Melissa Nygren and Reuben Ditmars, Chlesea McGee and Lynn Harder, Lloyd Cross, David Logue and Darren Kraft for sorting and delivering the Christmas hampers. Their hard work ensured that those in our community who needed the hampers received them.

We hope that the spirit of “Operation Santa” will be a continuing success in 2017. Asquith and the surrounding area is a wonderful community and we thank you for your help and support in helping Christmas be a little bit brighter for many in our community!
